How do I create something like this?

KingShizL · Jan 7, 2021

Hi guys, so I was thinking of owning a site that converts files, say video, mp3, or other documents. Something like Clideo site. How do I have that SAAS site up and running. I know very little about this, I only know how to design a wordpress site.

I know it involves scripting or something. How do I get someone to create it or can I just get premade or something?
Also I was wondering how sites like this make their money.

You wanna make a certain type of website before even knowing how it makes money?

usually that kind of site would have premium features you’d have to pay for to get access to, like unlimited conversations, convert it without a watermark or convert it to a higher resolution like 1080p and have the free version locked at 720p. And some probably have ads sprinkled around the site aswell.

I havnt done the research so I can’t tell you exactly how you’re gonna go about it, but I wouldn’t use Wordpress for it, for Saas websites you should definitely build it from the ground up (IMHO)

You can create a software and set it up on a VPS and integrate it with the website.

Install a command-line only Linux to your local machine in HyperV or whatever, install the tools required to convert files like you want, this is exactly what you will need running behind your site.

The rest is getting that running on a server, secure and with a UI to run as your website.

Good luck!

Wow this sounds like more work than I thought it would be, Seems a lot smarter to get a developer to get it all set up. Thanks a lot guys

for video/audio conversion you can use ffmpeg , recommended on Linux, just make sure your server have enough cpu power. IF you use VPS, make sure you can use all vCPU that your provider give your or use cpulimit etc to limit cpu usage of ffmpeg scripts.

for document to PDF I think you can research about openoffice api/command line ..

you can also search on some apps market like codecanyon etc for video converter script , or just hire a freelancer in BHW to build that for you ...

True! This is what I always had done, but I regret not forcing myself to learn basics or just dive in. Still working on that confidence haha
